Ok tour, ok guide

We didn’t see any manatees, but we were aware of that. The kayak ride was simply in a cove, then out a little ways on the Indian River. There wasn’t anything special about this tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Some days are more memorable than others. This day was a slow day for viewing wildlife.

Amazing experience

An amazing experience! Our guide’s , Adrena, knowledge about the animals, mammals, and all the creatures that live in the causeway was extensive. So many manatees, a few dolphins, pelicans, egrets, just an amazing, personalized experience! Definitely recommend. 4/25.

Incredible trip!!

We had an amazing time on this trip! We saw lots of manatees and dolphins and we loved every minute of our trip. Our guide was very easy going and let us follow where the dolphins and wasn’t in a hurry. He was also very knowledgeable and showed us spider crabs, horseshoe crabs, puffer fish and sting rays! We would absolutely do this trip again next time we are in FL. I 100% recommend taking this trip!!!

Fabulous kayaking trip.

Perfect kayaking trip! Adrenal was excellent!! We loved watching the manatees - so many of them. Spied a gator in the distance and a dolphin. Many fish, horse shoe crabs and so much more. Well worth it. Family ages 7-62. Great time!

Looked like fun

Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour before we got far due to weather. But, the tour guide was great. very kind and informative. If the weather would have been a bit calmer I'm sure it would have been a blast. We were offered a reschedule or refund.
